Is it safe to force mods? I needed to get the updated version of w_packmule 1.4a and BWS is asking for 1.4.
The file size does not have the expected size.

In general:
If 7zip can handle it (very likely), it will be extracted.
If it has the same setup name, it will be recognized.
The fixpack may kill it in certain conditions.
If component-numbers or language-numbers changed, you don't get what you expect.

THINK! - It's not illegal.

It is indeed possible to manually install/force mods. I've done this with my BWS for a few mods and it works fine. In fact, it is provided as an option through the BWS setup process. Size is not an issue. Depending on where you download it from, the file name and/or size may be different. This is why there is the option of a manual install. However, what I am not sure of is whether the updated version of the mod will interact properly with the rest of the mods.
"Man, in his discussions with other men about questions of religion, statecraft, geography, trade, has always reached a point in the discussion where it has seemed wise to reply to his opponent by disemboweling him or knocking his brains out."
My name is Thomas Hockenberry, Ph.D., and I think the "Ph.D." stands for "Pouring His Draft."
"The study of modern science today is being done by the brain of primitive man."
